These are just incredible, is there a tutorial available how to create these? I would love to create one for the grassroots team I play for. TIA

 

Thanks mate. If you want to post the logo in here I can make it for you.

I do not find it. In the screen you see what I extracted from the megapack.

 

Would you have deleted it mate by any chance as it's in the packs for sure?

 

Here is a copy of it.

The flags are in a zip file when you download the pack mate so they don't overwrite the international logos.

 

To use Steel Flags just unzip the flags folder and reload the game.

I'm having issues getting the Steel megapack logos to show up in game. I've followed the install process on the website but it's still not showing up in game? I've put them in "My Documents → Sports Interactive → FM 22 → graphics → logos" but still nothing. Any ideas?

 

Same problem with faces, too. Have attached a screenshot for added context.

 

Cheers.

 

Hi mate, sorry for the delay in responding.

 

Have you cleared the cache in preferences and reloaded the skin?

Thank you to all the research team as always for their valuable help.

Do not copy and paste the actual folders.

Now I have injoyed these for some hours and I really like that u see them on Club Overview and under the match but not when u look at your player (I use Flut skin)

I hope we see many more packs

Cheers a Fan

 

Thanks mate it's always good to see people are enjoying the projects. I'll start again tomorrow with the Bundesliga pack and take it from there. If I can get some help from member on this site or mine it will move quicker hopefully.

These are really nice. Looks superb on FM. I have a few requests if you don't mind. (Sorry for the Moroccan ones I play in the Moroccan Leagues a lot)

 

 

Hi mate, at the moment I won't have time for requests as I'm trying to focus on packs as I'm alone on this project so far. I know you wanted help with the background packs previously so if your interested in helping with this let me know.

@Legs Benedict 

 

Not the original template which is a full kit (not sure who created that) and then my edited version into this shape ends up being this style.

 

I go into detail about that in the original thread below.

@weeniehutjr 

 

Thanks, that’s what I like about it mate. Easier to make and I think they look well in-game.

 

I’ll make a few packs and see how it goes. If people want to help it could end up being something interesting.

I made a few more requests over at FMG a few weeks ago but I think the in-game clashing with text is a problem.

 

For the moment I'll focus on the logo megapacks and kits mate.

I'll have a look and see what I can spot in the pack and fix them before compressing but we will obviously work to improve the quality of the packs over time, particularly the lower level teams. 

 

I haven't had the chance to use the Tinypng plugin on the actual pack yet but I did a trial run with it on a test folder of 250 logos and it took just over a minute. However, what I've noticed with photoshop batching in the latest version is that it's slows up pretty badly around the 10,000 logo mark.

 

Can I ask is it a plugin you're using for the site to compress the files?

@Footygamer  I was able to find a TinyPNG plugin for photoshop which seems to be working great so far.

 

I'll run this with all the logos and see what we end up with. Thanks as always for the help mate.

@Footygamer  I actually had a chance to look at this mate before heading off.

 

Based on the information on the previous pack in the download section heres a comparison between the two packs.

 

FMV Logos 21 - 58,396 total logos.

Approx 19,465 images at max size 225px. 206px actual logo size if you exclude the empty space around the logos.

 

FMV Logos 22 - 223,389 total logos.

Approx 74,463 images at max size 512px. No space around logos.

 

When comparing the packs and with other megapacks it's not just a case of looking at the number of files but also the size of each logo as this makes a huge difference to the overall file size.

 

In terms of optimising I generally merge any layers when finished the logo (if necessary depending on the style) and then export → save for web → png-24 and use Bicubic Sharper as a quality setting. This is the lowest option I'm comfortable with because if I use anything lower such as png-8 I lose a lot of quality, particularly around edges. I use this method of exporting for web as its resulted in the lowest file size compared to simply saving the file normally as a png file.

 

I've had a chat with Murray about how we prepare the logos and it is exactly the same apart from the logo size and the empty space being removed in my version.

 

However, I'd absolutely love to get the file sizes for this style and our other megapacks down and would appreciate any suggestions or help you guys could give.
